Sands China Ltd says it has completed a series of activities in support of the Macau government’s Responsible Gambling Promotions 2020, including the promotion of responsible gambling behaviour among staff and further raising their awareness of problem gambling.
The campaign, which ran from August through December, is organized by the MSAR Social Welfare Bureau, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), and the University of Macau’s Institute for the Study of Commercial Gaming.
Sands China’s initiatives included holding two responsible gaming workshops for its staff, the first promoting better communication between staff members and their children with a focus on self-control and financial management skills, while the second aimed to provide better understanding of gambling disorders and how staff can seek help for themselves or others. There were also a series of roadshows held at Sands China properties to further increase awareness of responsible gaming for staff.
“Sands China understands the importance of responsible gaming to the well-being of the Macau community, and it is our pleasure to support the Macau government’s Responsible Gambling Promotions 2020,” said Sands China President, Dr Wilfred Wong. “Through various in-house initiatives and those with local organisations, we are pleased to again see our team members supporting the company’s corporate social responsibility efforts and the Macau government’s annual responsible gaming awareness promotion.”
